The National Football League will have FanFest celebrations in all 30 of its team markets as part of Super Bowl LIX next month in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome.
Verizon will transform stadiums and venues on February 9 with on-field access, live music, local chefs and meet-and-greets at each location with current and former NFL players such as Marshall Faulk, Jason Witten, Tiki Barber, Derrick Brooks and Thurman Thomas.
“Super Bowl LIX is the most anticipated sporting event of the year but few get to experience it in person; we wanted to bring that collective excitement and energy to fans across the country with once-in-a-lifetime access they’ll never forget,” said Leslie Berland, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Verizon. “Verizon is the only brand that can do something like this; we’re leveraging the power of our sponsorships, national and local partnerships across the country to put our customers at the center of this incredible event.”
Some of the local entertainment includes the Los Angeles Rams’ Mariachi band and the Houston Texans Gameday presentation team along with appearances in select cities from deejays such as DJ Infared, DJ Jay Ejercito and DJ Split Second Sound.
Attendees will be able to take a selfie from the 50-yard line, spike a football in the end zone, take a tour of the locker rooms, enjoy tailgate games and participate in football-themed activities on the field. Fans will have field and stadium access at MetLife, SoFi, Nissan Stadium, Empower Field at Mile High and at other NFL sites.
For colder climate cities like Chicago and New York, those in attendance will have the option to keep warm in either the stadium’s premium or field club lounge areas.
